Kenyatta won 98% of the vote in the October 26 re-run after opposition leader, Raila Odinga boycotted it on the grounds that it would neither be free nor fair.

His opposition party claims the election board had failed to implement reforms he sought after the court decision.

The Supreme Court had been due to meet on October 25 to deliberate on an eleventh-hour request to delay the re-run.

But the day before, the bodyguard of its deputy chief justice was shot as he bought pot plants beside a highway.

Only Chief Justice David Maraga turned up for the October 25 hearing. Without a minimum quorum of five judges, Maraga said the court could not make a ruling on the petition, paving the way for the election re-run to go ahead.
